Default Startin at Swift school in KC WED

Hey Headed4home

Glad to hear things are going good for ya...I am also starting a new career at 48..I am a welder/ fabricator and have worked in the factory sweet shops as well as ran my own business for awhile...am ready for something new and have always wanted to drive trucks...so I am givin it a try. I had heard so much bad stuff about Swift I was wondering if I had made the right choice, but Lately I have heard some positive ,so I have made my mind up and going with Swift. Wish you the best of luck and keep you wheels turnin.

Well guys and gals,Finished day 4 and looking at 5 Tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be a review day and well review everything well
see on our test on Mon ...............................
I think everyone is alittle nervous !!! But The folks that are studying will make it.I know Ive studied alittle every evening so I wont have to cram on Sun eve............................
My fellow class mates are really roughing it at the Days Inn.........
Conditions are pretty bad.........................It seems the hotel makes you turn off A/C during the day and the SWIFT folks do Room checks while were at school.This is to insure compliance of the NO ALCOHOL policy.
Drink before you get here.........................

See everyone later !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
